Pigeon roosting can be very destructive to buildings. Their droppings alone can eat into wood, plastic and even stone surfaces. They place their nests in places like gutters, which can block rain flow and cause roof flooding and water damage. There are some things you can do to prevent the pigeons from roosting on your home.

There are preventative measures, such as steel bird spikes and heavy duty netting. You can also make sure you keep your trash containers closed and get rid of water puddles.
